It's been the better part of a year since the 6-foot-2, 190-pound wideout began to turn heads in Louisiana with his physical style. It's been more than seven months since he committed to LSU's 2013 class on Feb. 4, making him the second commit for this year. It's easy to forget about the end game after that much time in limbo.

But that wait is finally over. Baker is two games into his senior season, with just a handful of months before he can officially sign with LSU. He said that fact hit home for him when he watched LSU pound Idaho from the sidelines last Saturday night.
